Refresh, reflect and rebalance at Six Senses Vana’s Monsoon Wellness Retreat
July 19, 2024

India, July 2024: With the monsoon season upon us, Six Senses Vana is at its greenest. Regarded as an ideal time for wellness retreats, the rainy season offers the opportunity to detoxify and purify the body and mind while recovering from the summer heat. Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, monsoon at Six Senses Vana is linked to Vassa, a historic practice where monks stay in one place for three months and intensively study the teachings of the Dharma. The retreat period is therefore used for self-reflection, contemplation and meditation. Six Senses Vana’s monsoon wellness programs and treatments incorporate this ancient tradition to nurture wellness.

“According to traditional Indian medical systems, the summer monsoon season encourages adopting routine and lifestyle modifications to avoid imbalances in the body. According to Ayurveda, monsoon is one of the best times for detoxification and rejuvenation. As weather conditions are less extreme during this season, it is suitable for intensive therapies such as panchakarma. Ayurveda recognises three major doshas – Vata (air and air), Pitta (fire and water) and Kapha (earth and water). As monsoon is characterised by its cool and moist nature, it falls under the realm of Vata dosha. An imbalanced Vata dosha can further manifest as bloating, joint pain, fatigue, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia and poor concentration.”
Jitendra Varshney, Wellness Director at Six Senses Vana
